Myriad things

That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening. - what does this line means?
in one thoughtful moment (one chittakshana) millions of things happens but we worldlings can catch up one thing
even that one thing we think as a thing or a person (a living being)
but
that arising 'thing' is just a perception
if and only if we see the perception as perception
then only there is no residual to come back as a thing and that is awakening to the moment (one is here and now)

I take this quote from @misecmisc1 to imply that these "things" are simply sentient beings. As they move from unconscious to conscious, then they become awake.
I think it happens in the mind of one person... Myriad things arising are just the many feelings and thoughts one can have in a second, all experiencing themselves through the miracle of mindfulness, and thus leading to awakening? Or something along those lines?
Everything is a footnote to everything else.
Relax.
At one time, everything was rolled into one . Then it divided itself into these myriad of multitudes of trillions of forms in hopes of losing itself, just so that it may go out and find itself again. The world is experiencing itself for the sake of knowing.
Isn't life grand?
whatever arises (comes into mind) through eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind is a perception
that perception is a greed or a hate or a delusion
if one sees that
what one does
if one is wise?
grasp of it?
or
let go of it?
if grasp of it what would happen?
if let go of it what would happen?
you grasp it well enough to know it, accept it, and then let it go. You don't have to choose just one.
